Methinks the fella with the Challenger is asking too small a sum.

I see the custom wheels...what size and tires are on there? What else have you done to the old girl?
Noooooo that poor Special Edition NB!
Because if the car had 170 hp at 5,000 or even 6,000 rpm, nobody would be talking about how much more power the car needs. Instead, we’d all be marveling at how it does so much with "just" 170 hp.
You’ve obviously never been stuck behind a Maserati Ghibli in traffic. Your first thout is “That’s a really convincing Maserati badge.” And your second thought is “I didn’t know Daewoo was still around.”
If anything, the BRZ could use a little less power. The designers gave it an engine that makes 200 hp, yes, but only in the last 500rpm before redline. If it had just 170 hp that kicked you in the butt at 5,000 rpm, it would feal like a real animal.
The Miata gets a pass because sports cars are graded on a curve—their power curve. It's not enough for a car to put up good numbers, but those numbers have to be in reach of where a person usually uses the engine. My Miata is plenty fun between 3,000 and 5,000 rpm, but the BRZ doesn't even come alive below 5,500.
Yeah, but that only happens in 13th gear, and it’s just a manifold plate...

I just realized I put another Second Generation Silverado up in place of the Third Generation. Whoops.
